Parenting Moments

presented by Healthier Urban Families at Wayne State University

June 2023

Welcome to the month of June! For many families, June is a very busy month with proms, graduations and perhaps a wedding or two. Let’s remember to honor fathers and father figures this month on Father’s Day. Also take some time to think about freedom and acceptance as we observe Juneteenth and Pride month. Since June is national soul food month, I encourage you to talk to your children about the foods that you enjoy and that are unique to your culture as well as sampling foods from other cultures. To build on talking to your children about food, please see this month’s presentation on cooking with your kids. Spending time in the kitchen with your children can create some wonderful Parenting Moments.
